Shower tray repair at your home in Micklethwaite

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that flexes and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Micklethwaite and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Common questions in Micklethwaite

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Micklethwaite. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
